Go Red For Women Luncheon set for May 3

The 2016 Golden Triangle Go Red For Women Luncheon will take place on Tuesday, May 3, at 11 a.m. at the Beaumont Country Club (5355 Pine St). Individual tickets are $75 and can be purchased online at goldentrianglegored.heart.org.

Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association’s nationwide movement that celebrates the energy, passion and power to band together and wipe out the No. 1 killer of women — heart disease.

The guest speaker will be Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Janine Turner, who is known for her roles as Maggie O’Connell in “Northern Exposure,” Dr. Dana Stowe in “Strong Medicine,” and also had roles in “Cliffhanger,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Steel Magnolias” and played June Cleaver in the 1997 film “Leave It to Beaver.”

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us “that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas,” we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We’re of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
